CARLSTADT — The rocket's red glare shimmered on the Hackensack River Tuesday night as Secaucus' annual Independence Day fireworks display exploded over the Meadowlands.

River Barge Park in Carlstadt stayed open late for revelers looking to watch the fireworks burst over the New York City skyline. The rain and clouds didn't stop the show, sending a burst of color into the summer air and, maybe just a little bit, scaring off the mosquitos.
